Upload wizard blocks meaningless file names like DSC* no more Previously it blocked before the upload and gave message to fix file names Now it does not block but file upload fails with cryptic message <api-error-unknownerror> and cannot be fixed by user who uploads the files mediawiki response is "Unknown error: "titleblacklist-custom-filename""
This is very bad for the current Wiki Loves Earth contest. Users try upload files, but fail and don't see any descriptive response
Pleas request this change onwiki: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Titleblacklist
ummn, my error.
Sorry, why reopened?
because of misreading. Someone experienced with regex need to fix this in the titleblacklist. Added an experienced user with regex to cc.
Ah ok, thanks for explanation :)
Given the api error code, TitleBacklist does catch the upload; the problem is with UploadWizard not predicting this.
I was asked in IRC and somewhere else whether this bug is related to my fix of Bug 64883 -- the answer is no. To prevent further questions: The fix to Bug 64883 is not yet deployed on the Wikimedia cluster. It (Ic57d7c9bb4f986f3) was merged into the master branch on 20. May 02:20 -- but the 1.24wmf5 branch was created May 15; thus it was not deployed to Commons on Tuesday, 20 May 2014; it will be deployed to Commons on Tuesday, 27 May 2014 with version 1.24wmf6 -- you can find the current MediaWiki version at [[:commons:Special:Version]]. The deployment roadmap is at [[:mw:MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap]].
